According to tbe cnrollnunt of Oy¬ ster Bay jUFt issued hy the .Nassau County Election Board, there is only one Republican in the Koosevcll faiii- ly over ou i.'ovc Neck. His name Is Kermit Roosevell. In the column dedicated to party fealty, love and affection, appears opposite the names of Theodore Roosevelt, and Archie Roosevelt the work "blank." Now what do you suppose that means.' If it had been blanketty, blank, our dull wit would have understood that the Colonel was in an objurgaioiy frame of mind that morning, aud all polilical pari ies could so far as he
was concerned, go plumb to ,
well, you know where. Bui "blank!" WTtienever, wherever before in an eventful public life spanning thirty- »ii years did blank ever for an in¬ stant expreas the Colonel's frame of mind? Alas, that he never learned like President Wilson to Joggle a typewriter, and had had Impressed deep In his mind thai immortal -sen- ti'iu'c ever laid before beginners for alphabetical iiiaalery, ".Now is the time for all good men lo come to the aid of iheir parly." Blank? Oui daui-ned word; An evil practice once coiintoiianced, 'tis said, may be¬ come a habit, lixcd by very familiaT- ity. Let us hope that there will be no such couse(|iu-nce in this instance, even if tien. Wood did fire 42 blankii in the Colonel's honor over at Gov¬ ernor's Island the other day. Wp prefer to believe thai this was one of Colonel Uoo.scveli's merry politi¬ cal jerits, devised lo keep us doing the very thing wc have been doing tjver since we eneouiiicied that hid¬ eous "blank' ' jiues.-viiii;.
It i.s of no chronological importaxice which of those two bright minds dis¬ covered the insuperable obstacle flrst.

Has Done Much to Im¬ prove Realtj Condi¬ tions in Freeport
(Fust of a series of Special Ar¬ ticles on Prominent Freejiort .Men.)
Freeport's pre-eminence among I>oug Island villages is largely due to the influence in this community of its builders and real esiate men, bolh giassitted under the appellation of developer. The beautiful Bay View seciion owes its position in vil¬ lage aliraciion to the Onslow-.MfXjre Developin>; Company, throu^th Alvin A. Sealey, l-'reeport practically owes il eoiiimeicial growth lo the Johir J. Kanrlall Company and the easterly part, that abandoned, neglec¬ ted section lias coiiie into its own solely thill the personal, iiilliielice of
I.o.It; Isliirifl's a(()iiainiaii( (' with the TeiitMis antedates that of most sections of this country. A hundred and forty years or so ago a lot of them wearing the uniform of King GeoTKe Ul, were quartered in this eame a resident
Hanse -now you have it and this article is ser\iii>; llie purpose of telling auoiil old Capi. Hanse, .lioofl fellow, liiinioi i.-il, jiliilo.s- opbe., orator and phiiantiophist. It would be bard, indeed, to nieniion the name of Fieeport without speaking of Captain Hanse, but it seems per- fecily sate in iiientioiiing the influ¬ ence of one on the other.
ll was about tifteen years ago when Hanse went to Lou« Beach lo stay for the summer. During hiis visit Ihere he made several trips over to FreeiKirt ..ml liked the people anri the village. He saw great possibili¬ ties here, (.ommeicially. He pur¬ chased a small hoiiie heie and be- .atcr he acquired
veiieiable lown and their forays up on the pigs and poultry of our fath¬ ers are a matter of history. If they should again descend upon us in this day of comiiiuling hen-keepers, what a paradise thej would find.
In the inoituai-y record of Rock¬ ville Centre, last week, appeared the name of the Rockville Centre Herald. That hebdomadal passed out quietly, conscious to the last, the chief mourjjei's al ila bier btiing its owner. .Mr. Nelson L. Seaman, a former Democrat, 'ind his aller ego, ex-un- der Sheriff Jaeger, al.=»o a former Democrat, who is under charges about to be iiivesligaled by the Demo¬ cratic County Conimittee of disloy¬ alty to .the |»arty last tall. Natural¬ ly in such au almo.sphere, it was im¬ possible for an editor of even Mr. Wilson's 'bsiinguishi'il joiiriiallstiL' achievements and marked personality to rehabilitate the Herald and make it an organ of "pure Denioci acy. " .Naturally the K. V. C. Democrats were siispicioii.s of any "uplift" from SIK h Sources Jaegi'i. Ihey say. willi < no longer have the neck of a sympa
itie to all that land in the south easterly section of the village owned by the lale Alexander Rhodes.
When Captain Hanse took posscrv- sion then the assessed valuation of the flve acre tract was ^2,',in(). He be¬ gan developments and today the as¬ sessed valuation is close to $100,000, due exclusively to the persistency of the indefatigable Ilanse, whose will id of the nevei'-say-die kind. He has erected a number of beaiuiful homes here- homes that do credit to the vil¬ lage and has made a section of that once, forgotten section, that is sec¬ ond to none in Freeiort. Indeed, it has advantages that are lacking in other pans of the village.

I half suspect that Ihe most of my Democratic friends read the elec¬ tion law about as much as they do the Koran, hence an uiicomimmly wide iiiiiH e.^sion that tlieir party will presently bo called upon to elect a Stale ComiHilleeiiian.

Over ill Kockville Cenire there is life also as well as death. A Ger¬ man, Joe Riiss, long a vlllage trus¬ tee, aspires to be village president. A Frenchman, Capt. Carty, resigned the office of village trustee espec¬ ially to po out and give Russ battle, and now comes along an American. Counsellor- al-law, ^..ij. Wright., wno at the earnest reiiuest of mauy vil¬ lagers, win go to the mat with them bolh. Wright is progressive and ag¬ gressive. Village improvement is his motto and according to some of his fellow men, this Is badly needtxl. The vlllage hoard reminds them of a socletiy ^f leldcrl/ women who do their knittins In public, but have never yet flui.shed a single sock. If they are to be believed, the Board has gotten into a rut and an infu¬ sion of new blood Is demanded. 'VNlth a delicacy so characteristic of Ger¬ man diplomacy, Mynheer Russ has stated in a printed interview that village affairs were In bad shape when he look hold several years ago, so all his predecessor trustees con¬ ceiving this to he gratuitously per¬ sonal and unkind, are after the "mod¬ el of !»obriety" as they characteri-iie him. The village canines are yet to be heard from, (^aptain Carty was ever at their heels with his spring resolutions concerning their misbe¬ havior in the public thoroughfares, and the employment of a much needed dog catcher. Village pride received a terrible blow once when the trustees introduced a talented dog | chaser, an lUhiop from the purlieus of -Manhattan, and fastened him to the pay roll. "You unscrupulous nigger" chorused those natives; whosip Fldos and Brunos and Dldoe the stranger had beguiled from home porches aud netted under the very eyes of weeping households. Next to woman suffrage the right of dogs • to live, move and have their being I withoui being trampled on by "a j nasty New York nigger" is a burn- ; Ing queiBtion in Rockville Centre, The
! lie goes he is a sure advertiser of [ l'"rei'port. lie never loses an oppor- i I unity of siieakiiig of the tiiany ad- I vaiita;;es m business life offered in Freeport and the Captain is a coii- ! \incing speaker, so the siib.iect is i well liandled.
.\ftei^ speiKling about ten years in Ihe villiiiie, Caiitaiii Haji.->e had for- iHiilaied iiiiiiiy ideas of villaj;e iiov- erniiient. He is president of th" Freepoit liiiproveiiient assoeiation that sti'()\(' successfully to get tlirii the bond issue for $,''iii,H(i() for the im¬ provement of the village streets with Peekskill mavel and for their main¬ tenance. In l'.ll2 he ran for villime pi'i'sidcnt, defeating John 1). Gunn¬ ing, who hild held the odUe a ye.ir.
Wlu'n Capt. Hanse was elecled he went in iiiider trying cii (¦iimstauces. The laxpayeis had been paying an¬ nually large appropriaiion.-i and hav¬ ing been biirdem^d with the $.')0.(iOO bond issue the year before, they vot¬ ed down every appropi i.it ion suhmit¬ ied This was a handicap lo work I wilh, hut then the village was en- ' abled throimh law to raise one-half of one per cent of Ihe assessid vail- iiatioii, whicii was siifTicieni with which to cairy out the village affairs. | What Capt. Hanse did is history j He obtained a fifteen minute schedule on the trolley line during business I hours, by makin;; It possihie to .ue' j a switch iKiir the jioul offlcei be ob- alned throimh the vote of the people, | the liKht lo use a fifteen acre tract j in the south easterly section its a I park; he invented the police signal j system and reorganized the iiolice j force for eood and he obtained the i largest franchise ever obtained of any j sniiir, corporation, when he got $|ii,-' HOII from the Freeport K.

SHOWS NEED OF A NEW TOWN HALL
i:ditor The Niissau Post:
1 note with much interest that the first gun has been fired regarding the much needed new town ball. 1 note iliai a petition has been filed with the Town Board requesting thai a proposition be submitted to the tax payers for the expenditure of $75,- 00(.) for the election of a new town hall buildin.;;.
I desire to express through your paper to the tax payer- my opinion as to the importance of having new quarters for housing of town docu¬ ments for the largest, richest and most progressive town in the State of .New York.
My official position as one of he Town Assessnr.s probably impresses llie liiore fo'cilil.v than the tax p;iyei who is not io closely connected wilh the lown government. The present town hail is one of the worst Fire traps and most dangerous buildini^s of any iiiiiTiicipal biiildiu.i; probably in tne Slate of New 'York. The tax payers of ihe Tovvn of Hempi^tead have much to be thankful fnr in that this building has not caught fire If a fire (icciirred, conditions being ,1tist right, every town record whicb happeneil to be outside of the vaults would be i-nlirely desI toyed. The protection of 'he asse.-ismeni roll is nf the moi-ii importance because with¬ out it the town governtiient would cease to run Tlie good roads, the scli'iols, Ibc special districts such as light, water, :;as and electriclt." woiild all In- iiffected in as Hiuch as the assesii'cnl roll is the iiioans of providing for the collection of taxes and moncv to run the town govern¬ ment. Now It may be said that if the assessment roll burned the as- seOTors could make a new roll, but my tiitn b(v|icf is (hat it would take p.ll of ten year.- to complete all the data to propeily comiilele the tax roll. There are some I.l7,'),<i0ii par¬ cels in the Township of Hempstead with over $fiS,00n,000 assessed valii- iiii'i'i. ill tlic (jiHuiion of preparing a new assessment roll In case of the town hall burning and these books ¦were destroyed Is a very seriou,'? one.
It makes li'tle difference where the new town hall Is located The mntter of location should not be con¬ sidered by the fax payers, hut a new town hall should be provided and provided with the least possible de¬ lay. It Is true that Freeport would like to have the town hall, Ftockville (""entre. Lynbrook, or possibly other villages feel the same way, but as fiv IS f ;i! 1 )icisnTinllv concerned l think Hempstead probably is the logi¬ cal place in as much as the tnwn ball has always been located there.
I sincerely hope that the tax pay¬ ers of the Town of Hempstead will realize the importance of thia pro¬ position and give It their profound consideration so that the records of this town can be properly guarded by a proper and up-to-date flre proof tnwn hall.

According to tbe cnrollnunt of Oy¬ ster Bay jUFt issued hy the .Nassau County Election Board, there is only one Republican in the Koosevcll faiii- ly over ou i.'ovc Neck. His name Is Kermit Roosevell. In the column dedicated to party fealty, love and affection, appears opposite the names of Theodore Roosevelt, and Archie Roosevelt the work "blank." Now what do you suppose that means.' If it had been blanketty, blank, our dull wit would have understood that the Colonel was in an objurgaioiy frame of mind that morning, aud all polilical pari ies could so far as he
was concerned, go plumb to ,
well, you know where. Bui "blank!" WTtienever, wherever before in an eventful public life spanning thirty- »ii years did blank ever for an in¬ stant expreas the Colonel's frame of mind? Alas, that he never learned like President Wilson to Joggle a typewriter, and had had Impressed deep In his mind thai immortal -sen- ti'iu'c ever laid before beginners for alphabetical iiiaalery, ".Now is the time for all good men lo come to the aid of iheir parly." Blank? Oui daui-ned word; An evil practice once coiintoiianced, 'tis said, may be¬ come a habit, lixcd by very familiaT- ity. Let us hope that there will be no such couse(|iu-nce in this instance, even if tien. Wood did fire 42 blankii in the Colonel's honor over at Gov¬ ernor's Island the other day. Wp prefer to believe thai this was one of Colonel Uoo.scveli's merry politi¬ cal jerits, devised lo keep us doing the very thing wc have been doing tjver since we eneouiiicied that hid¬ eous "blank' ' jiues.-viiii;.
It i.s of no chronological importaxice which of those two bright minds dis¬ covered the insuperable obstacle flrst. Evidently they hit upon it slmultaneoufily, as It were, for they both thereafter dropped their crow¬ bars, removed tbeir overalls and sus¬ pended operation.'*. The aay, nay Pauline, which they encountered ia known as section 38 of the Election Law of 1916, running thus in sub¬ stance i

Hanse -now you have it and this article is ser\iii>; llie purpose of telling auoiil old Capi. Hanse, .lioofl fellow, liiinioi i.-il, jiliilo.s- opbe., orator and phiiantiophist. It would be bard, indeed, to nieniion the name of Fieeport without speaking of Captain Hanse, but it seems per- fecily sate in iiientioiiing the influ¬ ence of one on the other.
ll was about tifteen years ago when Hanse went to Lou« Beach lo stay for the summer. During hiis visit Ihere he made several trips over to FreeiKirt ..ml liked the people anri the village. He saw great possibili¬ ties here, (.ommeicially. He pur¬ chased a small hoiiie heie and be- .atcr he acquired
veiieiable lown and their forays up on the pigs and poultry of our fath¬ ers are a matter of history. If they should again descend upon us in this day of comiiiuling hen-keepers, what a paradise thej would find.
In the inoituai-y record of Rock¬ ville Centre, last week, appeared the name of the Rockville Centre Herald. That hebdomadal passed out quietly, conscious to the last, the chief mourjjei's al ila bier btiing its owner. .Mr. Nelson L. Seaman, a former Democrat, 'ind his aller ego, ex-un- der Sheriff Jaeger, al.=»o a former Democrat, who is under charges about to be iiivesligaled by the Demo¬ cratic County Conimittee of disloy¬ alty to .the |»arty last tall. Natural¬ ly in such au almo.sphere, it was im¬ possible for an editor of even Mr. Wilson's 'bsiinguishi'il joiiriiallstiL' achievements and marked personality to rehabilitate the Herald and make it an organ of "pure Denioci acy. " .Naturally the K. V. C. Democrats were siispicioii.s of any "uplift" from SIK h Sources Jaegi'i. Ihey say. willi < no longer have the neck of a sympa
itie to all that land in the south easterly section of the village owned by the lale Alexander Rhodes.
When Captain Hanse took posscrv- sion then the assessed valuation of the flve acre tract was ^2,',in(). He be¬ gan developments and today the as¬ sessed valuation is close to $100,000, due exclusively to the persistency of the indefatigable Ilanse, whose will id of the nevei'-say-die kind. He has erected a number of beaiuiful homes here- homes that do credit to the vil¬ lage and has made a section of that once, forgotten section, that is sec¬ ond to none in Freeiort. Indeed, it has advantages that are lacking in other pans of the village.

Over ill Kockville Cenire there is life also as well as death. A Ger¬ man, Joe Riiss, long a vlllage trus¬ tee, aspires to be village president. A Frenchman, Capt. Carty, resigned the office of village trustee espec¬ ially to po out and give Russ battle, and now comes along an American. Counsellor- al-law, ^..ij. Wright., wno at the earnest reiiuest of mauy vil¬ lagers, win go to the mat with them bolh. Wright is progressive and ag¬ gressive. Village improvement is his motto and according to some of his fellow men, this Is badly needtxl. The vlllage hoard reminds them of a socletiy ^f leldcrl/ women who do their knittins In public, but have never yet flui.shed a single sock. If they are to be believed, the Board has gotten into a rut and an infu¬ sion of new blood Is demanded. 'VNlth a delicacy so characteristic of Ger¬ man diplomacy, Mynheer Russ has stated in a printed interview that village affairs were In bad shape when he look hold several years ago, so all his predecessor trustees con¬ ceiving this to he gratuitously per¬ sonal and unkind, are after the "mod¬ el of !»obriety" as they characteri-iie him. The village canines are yet to be heard from, (^aptain Carty was ever at their heels with his spring resolutions concerning their misbe¬ havior in the public thoroughfares, and the employment of a much needed dog catcher. Village pride received a terrible blow once when the trustees introduced a talented dog | chaser, an lUhiop from the purlieus of -Manhattan, and fastened him to the pay roll. "You unscrupulous nigger" chorused those natives; whosip Fldos and Brunos and Dldoe the stranger had beguiled from home porches aud netted under the very eyes of weeping households. Next to woman suffrage the right of dogs • to live, move and have their being I withoui being trampled on by "a j nasty New York nigger" is a burn- ; Ing queiBtion in Rockville Centre, The
! lie goes he is a sure advertiser of [ l'"rei'port. lie never loses an oppor- i I unity of siieakiiig of the tiiany ad- I vaiita;;es m business life offered in Freeport and the Captain is a coii- ! \incing speaker, so the siib.iect is i well liandled.
.\ftei^ speiKling about ten years in Ihe villiiiie, Caiitaiii Haji.->e had for- iHiilaied iiiiiiiy ideas of villaj;e iiov- erniiient. He is president of th" Freepoit liiiproveiiient assoeiation that sti'()\(' successfully to get tlirii the bond issue for $,''iii,H(i() for the im¬ provement of the village streets with Peekskill mavel and for their main¬ tenance. In l'.ll2 he ran for villime pi'i'sidcnt, defeating John 1). Gunn¬ ing, who hild held the odUe a ye.ir.
Wlu'n Capt. Hanse was elecled he went in iiiider trying cii (¦iimstauces. The laxpayeis had been paying an¬ nually large appropriaiion.-i and hav¬ ing been biirdem^d with the $.')0.(iOO bond issue the year before, they vot¬ ed down every appropi i.it ion suhmit¬ ied This was a handicap lo work I wilh, hut then the village was en- ' abled throimh law to raise one-half of one per cent of Ihe assessid vail- iiatioii, whicii was siifTicieni with which to cairy out the village affairs. | What Capt. Hanse did is history j He obtained a fifteen minute schedule on the trolley line during business I hours, by makin;; It possihie to .ue' j a switch iKiir the jioul offlcei be ob- alned throimh the vote of the people, | the liKht lo use a fifteen acre tract j in the south easterly section its a I park; he invented the police signal j system and reorganized the iiolice j force for eood and he obtained the i largest franchise ever obtained of any j sniiir, corporation, when he got $|ii,-' HOII from the Freeport K.

i:ditor The Niissau Post:
1 note with much interest that the first gun has been fired regarding the much needed new town ball. 1 note iliai a petition has been filed with the Town Board requesting thai a proposition be submitted to the tax payers for the expenditure of $75,- 00(.) for the election of a new town hall buildin.;;.
I desire to express through your paper to the tax payer- my opinion as to the importance of having new quarters for housing of town docu¬ ments for the largest, richest and most progressive town in the State of .New York.
My official position as one of he Town Assessnr.s probably impresses llie liiore fo'cilil.v than the tax p;iyei who is not io closely connected wilh the lown government. The present town hail is one of the worst Fire traps and most dangerous buildini^s of any iiiiiTiicipal biiildiu.i; probably in tne Slate of New 'York. The tax payers of ihe Tovvn of Hempi^tead have much to be thankful fnr in that this building has not caught fire If a fire (icciirred, conditions being ,1tist right, every town record whicb happeneil to be outside of the vaults would be i-nlirely desI toyed. The protection of 'he asse.-ismeni roll is nf the moi-ii importance because with¬ out it the town governtiient would cease to run Tlie good roads, the scli'iols, Ibc special districts such as light, water, :;as and electriclt." woiild all In- iiffected in as Hiuch as the assesii'cnl roll is the iiioans of providing for the collection of taxes and moncv to run the town govern¬ ment. Now It may be said that if the assessment roll burned the as- seOTors could make a new roll, but my tiitn b(v|icf is (hat it would take p.ll of ten year.- to complete all the data to propeily comiilele the tax roll.
